Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

"Isn't this person's heart blinded by greed and completely trapped in a crazy desire for wealth?" Lan Lele was full of resentment and thought to herself. In her opinion, such a high price is simply ridiculous.

Even the flagship stores under the names of those famous and leading local breeding masters, which have all-round careful care and top facilities, have foster care fees that are roughly at this price.

But what is so special about this small store in front of me? Looking at the surrounding environment, although it is still clean and tidy, the store is small, cramped and shabby, and the location is also remote and cold. It is expected that its monthly storefront rent is no more than 3,000 euros. How dare such an inconspicuous little store be compared with those well-known big stores and charge the same foster care fees?

Lan Lele became more and more certain that the boss was trying to make a fortune, with the fluke idea of ​​"three years of no business, three years of profit after opening", trying to squeeze wealth from them, which was simply wishful thinking!

"Claire, let's go, this boss is clearly a black-hearted profiteer, the master who can cultivate the Lightning Mouse can never be related to such a despicable person!" Lan Lele's eyes were wide open, and he glared at Andre fiercely, and then said anxiously to Claire beside him.

Claire came back to her senses from her meditation, but did not turn around and leave immediately, but asked with a confused face: "Boss, but the last time I came to foster care, the fee was not so expensive?"

"Now that the treatment in the store has been upgraded, the price will naturally rise." Andre responded calmly and unhurriedly.

"Improved treatment?" Claire's eyes flashed with a glimmer of surprise, and she asked expectantly: "Then the treatment for foster care is better than before? In this way, won't it help pets to comprehend more advanced pet skills?"

"Of course I can't do that." Andre answered without hesitation, his tone was firm and there was no room for maneuver.

"Huh?" Claire's face was full of doubts, as if he fell into a thick fog, and his heart was full of confusion.

"Last time, I just happened to train the little guy. The changes that happened to it were purely unexpected." Andre explained with a cold face and no expression, "Now the store is busy, so I have no time to do this again. If you choose to foster it, it will only be fostering, and it does not include training services." After hearing this, Claire suddenly realized, and then a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she laughed and said, "Boss, you finally admitted it. The Lightning Mouse must have been carefully trained here." "I have already said it before." Andre said calmly. "That's different." Claire was full of joy, secretly glad that she insisted on staying just now. It was the right move. Then she couldn't wait to ask, "Then boss, what is the benefit of this simple fostering now?" She thought to herself that such expensive charges must have their own unique reasons. Andre still looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "It's just to slightly improve the pet's physique and slightly improve its understanding. If the pet itself has good qualifications, there may be a lower probability of triggering evolution. Apart from that, there is nothing special. If you expect the pet to be able to comprehend pet skills, I'm afraid you can only return disappointed." Every word he said was true. After all, the benefits brought by the foster position itself were enough to match the fees charged. If he cultivated it additionally, he would really have to bear a huge loss, which would not be worth the loss.

Claire nodded slightly and responded softly. Although she felt a little regretful, she was not too disappointed. After all, she was very happy to come here to confirm that her Lightning Mouse was indeed cultivated in this pet shop. At least, she had already understood the root cause of the change in the pet, and was no longer as confused as before.

"Just improve a little understanding and physical fitness?" Lan Lele stared at Andre with suspicion, her words full of doubt and distrust. Although Andre has admitted that the Lightning Mouse is related to this store, she still finds it hard to believe it in her heart. And the benefits of foster care mentioned by Andre at this moment made her doubts even more serious. In her opinion, such rhetoric is exactly the same as the clichés used by all pet stores in their promotions, and there is nothing new.

After all, intangible things such as understanding and physical fitness are difficult to measure accurately and difficult to test and verify. Unless the improvement is extremely significant, who can know for sure whether the physical fitness and understanding of the pet have really improved?

"Boss, can I ask you again to help me cultivate a pet?" Claire stared at Andre with eagerness and expectation. As for the simple foster care service, she was already uninterested after listening to Andre's introduction.

Generally speaking, foster care services are only offered when pet owners are too busy to take care of many pets, and only then will they choose to entrust their pets to pet stores. Claire now has plenty of time and is fully capable of taking care of the pets' diet and daily life, and can often accompany them to train their combat skills.

"Foster?" Andre raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to politely decline, when suddenly, the cold and mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind.

"It is detected that the customer has the need to foster pets, and the [pet foster] service is now open in advance."

"The host can receive orders based on the price of the foster service."

After the prompt sound fell, a price list that looked like a menu instantly appeared in Andre's mind, which clearly listed the various fees for the foster service.

Pets from level 1 to 3, the fostering fee is 10,000 euros.

Pets from level 4 to 6, the fostering fee is 100,000 euros.

Pets from level 7 to 9, the fostering fee is 1 million euros.

King beast... The fostering fee is 10 million euros!

Starting from the second tier of pet cultivation from level 4 to 6, all options are gray, which means that Andre is currently unable to accept such orders. At this stage, he can only undertake the cultivation of low-level pets from level 1 to 3.

"The condition for unlocking the cultivation of pets from level 4 to 6 is to cultivate a low-level pet with medium to high qualifications."

Andre saw this unlocking condition and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought to himself that this difficulty is no less than earning 1 million euros, which is really challenging. However, this unlocking condition happens to overlap with the main task he received earlier. In other words, as long as he successfully completes the main task, he can unlock this second tier of cultivation service, which is a bit of comfort.

"Boss?" Claire saw Andre suddenly fall into deep thought and couldn't help but call softly.

Andre came back to his senses instantly, nodded slightly, and said, "Cultivation, right? Our store currently only accepts low-level pets from level one to three, and the cultivation fee is 10,000 euros per time."

"10,000 euros?" Claire thought for a moment and weighed it in her mind. Although this price is a bit expensive, it seems more reasonable and normal compared to the outrageous fees for foster care. After all, cultivation services are expensive because of their professionalism and complexity, and there is often no clear upper limit on the price, which depends entirely on the cultivation effect.

With the successful example of the Lightning Rat, Claire still has considerable trust and expectations for this store. Even if this cultivation cannot produce a second pet as amazing as the Lightning Rat, as long as there can be a slightly inferior result, it is also very worthwhile for her, and can even be regarded as a big profit.

"Then I will cultivate the Lightning Rat again." Claire thought again and again and finally made a decision.

Lan Lele was stunned when she heard this, and quickly dissuaded him: "Claire, do you really want to breed that little guy again? It's already very good, what greater breakthrough can it achieve by continuing to breed it? Besides, the second round of competition will come in a few days, and this little guy is now your main fighter. If there is any mistake in the breeding process, the consequences will be disastrous, and all efforts will be wasted."

Claire shook her head slightly, and said firmly: "I didn't plan to send it to the second round. Its performance before was too dazzling and eye-catching, and the opponent in the second round was decided by drawing lots in advance. The opponent will definitely rack their brains in the past few days and try every means to formulate strategies against my Thunder Rat. If I send it out again at this time, the effect may not be satisfactory. Moreover, by the day of the competition, my other pets will have recovered almost enough to cope with the challenge of the second round."

"This..." Lan Lele was speechless for a moment. Although he still felt uneasy, he didn't know how to continue to dissuade him.

"Have you made up your mind?" Andre glanced at Lan Lele, who was worried, and turned to Claire and asked.

Claire nodded without hesitation, and said firmly and forcefully: "It's decided!"

"Well, pay the fee first." Andre nodded and said.

"Host triggers the side quest: Complete the first pet breeding order, do you want to receive it?" The system's prompt sound suddenly sounded in Andre's mind.

Andre was slightly startled, and was quite surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that this would trigger a task. At the moment, without hesitation, he silently said to receive it in his heart.

"Received successfully!"

"Task introduction: Complete the first pet training order successfully and receive high praise from customers."

"Task requirements: Products from our store must be high-quality! The host needs to train the customer's pet to more than double its original strength!"

"Training time limit: The customer has no clear requirements."

"Task reward: Three primary 'Force Pills'."

When Andre saw the specific requirements of the task, he couldn't help but take a breath and was speechless for a while.

Twice the original strength? The combat power of the Lightning Rat had reached 36 before. If the combat power is to be doubled, wouldn't it have to reach 72 combat power? This strength is almost comparable to that of a seventh-level pet!

It should be noted that seventh-level pets already belong to the category of high-level pets, and their number is rare and extremely rare. Those who can control high-level pets are all powerful high-level bards, and they are also outstanding leaders in the pioneering team.

And now, he was going to cultivate a low-level Lightning Rat to such an amazing degree? This was undoubtedly an extremely difficult challenge. Andre couldn't help but feel a little worried, but at the same time, he also had a strong fighting spirit, determined to go all out and meet this unknown test.
